The Big Bang Theory By Sheldon Cooper

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by my social environment and felt compelled to analyze the underlying facets of human communication. As opposed to readily advancing my own opinions, my nature has always been to observe, listen, and try to find solutions on a case-by-case basis. This interest in analyzing social interaction has not only helped me to understand others but is has also been an innate gift that I believe has assisted me in persevering through some of the most difficult personal challenges I have faced.

Do you think fear can kill? “For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone” (“Rod”). In 1959, one of the most popular television series was The Twilight Zone, wrote and produced by Rod Serling. The series includes many tales and adventures that are very thought provoking. The Twilight Zone highlights the tragedies during the 1950’s, specifically in the episode, “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”. The Twilight Zone contains five seasons but only thirty-six of the episodes were during the 1950’s and 1960’s, and were based on fear and catastrophe. The later episodes of the 1960’s reflected the catastrophes in the 1950’s. In The Twilight Zone episode, “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”, the events display tragedies of the 1950’s, like the Red Scare, McCarthyism, and the Space Race.

In Popular Mechanics the author, Raymond Carver, uses painstaking details, numerous symbols, and an unusual title to convey the universal theme that not all relationships end happily. Carver uses all these things to his advantage. He brings out the theme of this depressing, but truthful story. Many couples these days experience the same thing that this one in particular went through. "Early that day the weather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water." Carver starts off the story in this way. It is obvious that something bad is coming or has even already happened. The tone is grim from the very beginning and it also gives us an idea of what is to come. The weather outside is dark, "But it was getting dark on the inside too." This

As soon as this course started, I realized that there was a lot for me to learn. I communicate with many individuals at work and in my personal life. I have always felt that my communications were clearly received. However, I realized that each receiver of my communication is different. Joseph A. Devito explains that each person is unique; each person’s communications are unique (Devito 9). When at work I deal with many employees concerning various matters. The employees typically come to me because they need help with a matter that I am knowledgeable in. I can usually answer their questions quickly, and with great detail. The part I fail to consider is that the employee is not as knowledgeable as me, and may not understand some of the terms and processes I am referring to. And for fear of appearing to not understand, an employee will just agree with me and leave. That employee may leave my office not fully understanding everything I said. This miscommunication is

Where would one be without our senses? The answer can be found in Neil deGrasse Tyson’s scientific essay “Coming to Our Senses” published in . In this scientific writing targeted toward the general public, Tyson’s gives a simplified explanation of the main idea or message. Tyson’s explained message is “we need science, math, and technology to see things our senses can not”.

In his novel, The Fault in Our Stars, John Green describes the hardships, endless love, and a tragedy, that two teenagers must push through to find their forever. Hazel Lancaster, an intelligent, aware, and selfless young girl, has struggled with cancer since the early age of thirteen. Augustus Waters, a smart, metaphor loving, cancer stricken kid, falls completely in love with Hazel Grace, but a great misfortune cuts their time together short. “Some infinities are bigger than other infinities (Green, 260).” Both Hazel and Gus learn to appreciate the time they spend together and make their small infinity one to remember. This novel is based off of a girl by the name of Esther Earl, she and Green met at a Harry Potter convention and Green thought her story would be an amazing way to spread the word about this dreadful disease. Green’s purpose of this novel is to bring awareness of the horrible disease called cancer and how it not only affects the patents life, but others as well. Since this book is narrated by Hazel, it has a tone of being very frank, Hazel tells it like it is and does not sugar coat anything with the fear that if she does she will hurt someone even more. With the use of ethos, logos, and pathos, Green appeals to his audience of young people who may not realize how extremely well off they are and inspire the people who are struggling to find themselves.

Technology and the twenty first century go together like a PB&J sandwich. Everyone around us has some type of electronic devices which they can access the Internet from, whether it be a cell phone, a laptop, or a tablet. People today are not only physically attached to their devices but also emotionally. We as users must post on some type of social media based forum every minuscule detail going on. In Andrew Lam's essay he writes about Bill Bye "The Science Guy" giving a speech at USC and he collapses on stage. The audience's first reaction is to pull out their smart phones and records him collapsing. When 20 years ago the audience reaction would have been completely different. It would have consisted of someone running to a land line phone

Home is a place that the human race is familiar with. When one thinks of the word “home,” his or her thoughts wander to a small town, city, or home that he or she is currently residing. But what about the thought of planet Earth being called home? Earth is a place that humanity has inhabited for centuries, and yet it is very rarely thought of as home in the human mind. Carl Sagan gives a speech, discussing his thoughts on the ways of humans and Earth in a video titled “The Pale Blue Dot.” The video displays a variety of images of planets and the universe around them, helping the viewer grasp the concept of the message that Sagan is trying to convey. That being said, I believe the meaning behind the video, “The Pale Blue Dot,” interprets the way that humanity is selfish, and instead should be more caring towards one another, humanity should also stop violence and war to create peace and harmony as a whole, and lastly, people should come together in unity to take steps to help preserve their home that is planet Earth.

A popular television show called The Big Bang Theory airs every Thursday night on the CBS television network and is also in syndication. The show 's introduction compresses the history of the world and scientific advances into a nineteen second video. Listen closely to the beginning and hear according to Robertson (2007), the “whole universe was in a hot dense state and 14 billion years ago the expansion started.” The song and images seem to flash at light speed. One of my sons asked, “What did the TV show mean by the big bang theory?” This one television show, while not explaining the theory, launched the phrase, “big bang theory” into our generation 's collective conscious.

The general consensus in the academic world is that knowledge is power that can solve humanity’s problems. Sometimes, it is clouded by greed, or it lights the way for a better humanity. Scientists experiment to prove new theories, artists sculpt to express emotion and theologians study to provide interpretations of biblical stories. Therein lies the problem, while society is always searching for knowledge, to date there is no singular “foolproof” method of obtaining it. In the movie “The Theory of Everything,” Stephen Hawking has a “eureka” moment when pulling a sweater over his head and seeing flames through the material. In this case, it seemed that serendipity played a role in his search for truth. This led me to wonder, to what extent is the discovery of knowledge a matter of serendipity that can then go on to solve problems? While an exploration of whether knowledge is produced only to solve problems in the Natural Sciences may be more obvious, its application to Mathematics and Indigenous Knowledge may draw some interesting observations.

The atmosphere appears to be friendly as they are eating and communicating in an acceptable manner, Sheldon’s behaviour does not provoke any argument or disharmony as there is no evidence of physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual harm (Holly. et al. 2005).Therefore making the environment a space safe. The friends seem have the ability of suspending judgment, therefore not only postponing the judgment but also preventing the situation deteriorating,

The story “The Fun They Had,” by Issac Asimov relates to Oxford High School in many different ways. The story talks about a boy finding an actual paper book to read, instead of reading a book online. This relates to our school because now, in 2017, most of everything we do is online. We do assignments online, take tests online, and even read online. Margie, the young girl, was confused on why Tommy would pick out a book on school.

One of the literary highlights of my life has been reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. The short novel is packed with tons of humor, not leaving any joke untold. However, despite being by far the funniest book I’ve ever read, it discusses some fascinating subjects, both philosophically and scientifically. Because Hitchhiker’s Guide is such a fantastic book, I propose a course based around discussing the topics covered in the book and learning about the science and philosophy behind the book. The course would allow for in depth discussions of a plethora of topics like time travel and even the existence of God. It would be great for honors students because it would take advantage of their natural urge to learn and debate as well as teach students about material that

Virtual High school is becoming more and more popular. But is it really the best option for your child? My parents are planning on sending me to a virtual high school. But I totally disagree with that Idea. Here's why. There's no doubt that online schooling can’t get you the proper education that you need, But if your alwaysways on the computer, surrounded by no one but yourself and maybe a parent. Then how is it possible that you will be able to learn any social skills. When you first think of this it may not seem like a bad thing, but when really, it’s a huge issue that will shape your lifestyle.

In interpersonal communication there are many theories that are similar yet different in many ways. The theories can be combined to describe people and how those people interact and communicate with each other. Many of these theories help explain how people in society form impressions of others, how they maintain these impressions, why people interact with certain people in society, and how people will use these impressions that they have formed later on in life. These theories also help people to better understand themselves, to better understand interpersonal communication, and to better understand people in general. There are two theories in interpersonal communication that, despite their differences, can go hand in hand. The first is
